About this work

This print shows a simple room with three loose, sketchy figures lying on the floor. The word "ROOM" is printed in bold black letters in the center. The figures are drawn in a rough, quick style, almost like scribbles, and one wears a hat. The title isn’t *Room*—it’s *Untitled*, and the artist played with how we see everyday spaces. The figures look like they’re just lying there, but the whole thing feels a little off-kilter. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see how this fits into their collection.
